Be interesting watching the EU battle with inflatation and if individual countries become less resolute in not dealing with Russia. When people start realizing jingoism is expensive, Ukraine may see more pressure to head to the bargaining table.
StartPage was purchased by System1, a US ad-tech firm. Might want to keep an eye out for any policy changes.
If you go to McDonalds or Starbucks, you are using goods created with prison labor.
Not doing something because you are dead as broke is not a principle. One person leaving a large tip is still playing into a system designed to exploit workers, mostly women.
If you leave the door open to allow one group to be disadvantaged, you leave it open for all.
So, you refuse to enter restaurants that do not pay their staff a living wage? If you do go to restaurants, then you believe that less than minimum wage is acceptable “in some cases” and are being hypocritical. If you accept goods and services created with prison labor then you accept wage exception and are being hypocritical. As a society, if we accept one exception, then we accept all exceptions. https://blog.globaltel.com/companies-use-prison-labor/
If you are okay with waitstaff and prisoners being underpaid then you will be okay with others suffering the same fate.
Better a free thinking slave to satan than a sycophant to gawds.
She says it works fine, everything is copacetic, when I suggest buying her a new phone. Should mention she used a toothpick to paint the crack not the brush that comes with the nailpolish.
A good percentage of waitpersons in the country are working below minimim wage so there is precedent for this type of carve-out to labor laws. Prisons are chock full of exploited workers with no labor rights. If the intellectually challenged are to be treated equally then they should have every right to be grossly exploited like the rest of them.

My wife cracked the corner of her screen and applied clear fingernail polish over the crack thinking “what have I got to lose”. That was two years ago and the phone is still going strong and the crack has not spread.
Managers were fined €120. With crippling fines like that, I’m sure human trafficking was nipped in the bud.
Anything I save to online storage is first run through p7Zip for compression and encryption with a BitWarden generated password. I couldn’t image just trusting them with naked data and I’m not that smart nor have anything all that sensitive, it’s more about the principle of who has eyes on my stuff.
…but at what cost?
Giving a Glock to a toddler, what could go wrong?
Always seems the right and religion have jackboots on the ground recruiting the poor while the left tries to do it online. These numbers show that hitting the streets with messaging & cookies is still important.
Having done the same to my little plot, my biggest problem is snails. Buggers are everywhere and snail poo is surprisingly adhesive when it comes to the outside of my house. My friend said to get some chickens, who apparently love escargot, but the neighbors already give me the evil eye.
They need to do the same for EVs before that gets out of hand.
I like to tell people that I let my little patch go wild for the birds, bees, and butterflies but it’s actually because I’m lazy and hated mowing the lawn. A win-win all around.
Surprised they don’t direct you to police stations so you can turn yourself in…that’s probably coming.
